Combining classic lines with a blend of European styling and Americana retro influences, this model reflects thoughtful customer input and refined design. It offers a spacious and versatile platform ideal for entertaining family and friends.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

The 262 features a Mediterranean-inspired transom walkthrough complemented by luxurious cockpit detailing. Its large swim platform facilitates easy boarding and includes a wet locker to starboard alongside a recessed telescoping boarding ladder to port. Twin sun pads flank the transom walkthrough, cleverly concealing self-draining storage compartments. The cockpit houses a sculpted wraparound settee with a step leading to the transom, providing generous storage beneath the cushions and a substantial self-draining cooler.

Helm and Bow Seating

At the helm, the dash is elegantly upholstered and accented with lacquered bubinga wood inlays, presenting a striking yet functional design. Instrumentation is straightforward and easy to read, complemented by a compass to enhance navigation. A cleverly concealed head compartment is located behind the front dash. Forward, the bow rider offers wraparound seating with chaise lounges on each side, all featuring storage beneath the cushions. A removable table can be installed to convert the bow area into a dining space suitable for lunch or cocktails.

Measuring 26 feet 8 inches in overall length with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches, the 262 provides ample space for socializing and relaxation. Constructed entirely from composite materials, the boat weighs approximately 4,700 pounds, delivering a ride that is both solid and supple.
